My wife asked for a small “tote tray/toolbox“ for some of her crafting supplies. She makes fancy Xmas ornaments from felt, sequins and beads. She also knits and crochets as well, so the toolbox had to support multiple project types. The handle is removable so it can hold a spool of yarn...

I’d look at a Nova Comet 2. I can’t speak for the price, but I do know there are typically good sales for Black Friday. I started with one many years ago, and learned a ton with it.

I always buy Freud bits. The 1/4” and 1/2” that I have now, have been in use for a few years. The 1/2” has had a lot of drawer boxes ran over it, mostly poplar but some walnut too. I can speak for oak. Most of my work is with walnut.

Thank you for the kind words

The box joints( both the 1/4” on the drawers and the 1/2” on the cabinet construction) were all done with a box joint jig on my router table. I use spiral upcut router bits. The jig is from a Canadian company called Jessem. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks! Now we just have to find a use for it.

Finally finished the spice cabinet!!

I keep stalking this, hoping it will drop a bit more. I think two 5 amp hr batteries are close to $175, sot it’s still a great buy

Both of mine are from Nova and are both dc motors that are controlled via rheostat. I use different speeds constantly. They both also have an automatic start feature and electronic depth stops.

Each Christmas I typically create a handmade gift for each of my wife’s four employees. This year they each got a Christmas ornament off of the wood lathe. The metal pieces are from Woodcraft.

My latest project is supposed to take inspiration from an old time spice cabinet. I still need to finish The drawer fronts and put the tongue/groove back on it.

Today was day number 2 of my build on a wooden blown sbc. It’s my first week back in the garage in 3 weeks, as my cancer has kicked my *** lately. Hopefully another day or so and I’ll have it finished!
